Attilio Achile Bozzato (1886-1954) Venice Capriccio with the Arch of the Torre dell’Orologio, Oil on Wood
Attilio Bozzato presents a captivating and imaginative depiction of the passage under the arches of the Clock Tower in Venice, inspired by the work of Francesco Guardi. The architecture, with its arches and domes, the attire of the figures, and the distant glimpse of the lagoon, create a serene and enchanting atmosphere typical of the city of the Doges. This painting is an example of a "capriccio," a composition that blends real and imaginary elements to create an idealized and fantastical scene.
This oil on wood, created in the first half of the 20th century, is signed by the artist in the lower left corner. It is displayed in a carved and gilded wooden frame, adding a touch of elegance and refinement to the piece.
